[@soulcalsaga]

Thank you

Many men have died of greed over Gold, the Indains were right leave it alone it's cursed. Enjoyed the story

[@soulcalsaga]

Right. Thank you

[@bonsai108]

Didn’t someone find the cave by seeing the bats leave it at dusk from across the way? There is something bad in guano that will kill a man that fast. Not worth the risk.

[@soulcalsaga]

Lol. Right

[@danbjorkquistdoublebassist]

How does anyone know that he buried that Indian in the cave if he didn't tell anyone.

[@soulcalsaga]

Yeah if it's true must be more to story

[@Mindswamp]

This story does not compute. If Don Joaquin died overnight without revealing anything about what he had done where did the story of burying the gold in a cave and murdering the Indian come from?

[@soulcalsaga]

The found map. But I know what you mean

[@mauryoden]

Spanish g=w ll=y just saying

[@soulcalsaga]

Ok

[@MrAspden]

I doubt there’s still a vein bearing gold still. Someone would have claimed it and mined it by now.

[@soulcalsaga]

I agree

[@susanlovenberg8725]

I love these stories and the art work is beautiful. But if you are going to make videos about the southwest, PLEASE learn some correct Spanish pronunciation, I.e. Two l’s together have a y sound. Consequently Estrella (meaning star), is pronounced es-stray-ya. And the letter G is pronounced like an H. So Gila is pronounced hee-la. Thanks for trying.

Thanks for input. Glad you enjoy them
